Movie review: Aliens on the moon: the truth exposed

Has there been life on the moon in the past? IS there life on the moon now? That question and more may finally be answered using previously unseen NASA footage submitted for expert opinion.

Roger Leopardi (Narrator), Amy Shira Teitel (Spaceflight Historian), Joshua Warren (Paranormal Investigator), Lee Speigel (Huffington Post Journalist), Nick Redfern (Author/Researcher), Mike Bara (Writer/Lunar Researcher), Danielle Wyrick (Planetary Geologist), Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11 Astronaut).

Aliens on the Moon: The Truth Exposed takes a look at one of the more extreme theories about the moon; Is it a secret base for an alien race? The film leaves the answer to you, but gently nudges us in the alien conspiracy direction. Using previously unseen NASA moon footage blown up and highlighted to show what are believe to be a variety of objects. Unfortunately, most of the objects are almost impossible to see and even when we can, what they actually are is questionable at best.

Acting wasn't really acting. Or was it? Interviews with some reasonable sources, and some not so reasonable, constitute the acting here and while some did appear to be acting, others did not. This actually adds to the mystery and confusion. Dialogue and narration was pretty good and enjoyable.

Video was a mix of interviews, supposed NASA and military film footage, and simulations. While interesting, many pictures and clips were persistently repeated which led the video to become uninteresting. Shot switching was very fast paced at times making it difficult to relate audio to video.

Aliens on the Moon: The Truth Exposed really only raises more questions and doesn't seem to answer any. Those who enjoy extreme conspiracy theories or are fascinated with the moon, or aliens, may want to check this out. For anyone else, particularly those wanting more factual engagement, move along to something else.

Other than some poor video of a supposed naked alien female, nothing here to limit audience age.
